- I would like to be a pretester for either gcc 1.x or gcc 2.x. I haven't
- had any experience with early gcc's. I started with gcc 2.1 which I have
- had a lot of success with.
-
- My main machine is a sparc with SunOS 4.1.1, I have access to sparcs with
- SunOS 4.1.2 and SunOS 5.0 and mc68000 with SunOS 4.0.3. We have gcc 2.1
- for SunOS 4.1.2, 4.1.1 & 4.0.3 and, cygnus gcc 2.0.2 for SunOS 5.0.
- Actually we use the same executables for SunOS 4.1.2 & 4.1.1, I am not
- really sure of the differences.
-
- Do you have test programs for the pretest and can I use a debugger other
- than gdb, my favourite is ups?
-
- Finally, I will be on holiday for the first 3 weeks of August.
